Western New York Land Conservancy / YouTube Buffalo's Riverline is starting to take shape, with landscape designs from architects. For decades, it was just an old DL&W railroad line from downtown Buffalo into the city’s East Side, gradually becoming overgrown and losing its massive rail bridges. Now, it’s going to be the Riverline, a recreational and cultural pathway connecting the waterfront through varied neighborhoods. There will be new bridges, perhaps six of them, and a long trestle over rail lines, woodland and parks. During an unveiling of draft designs Wednesday, California architect Walter Hood said those bridges will give people a new look at Buffalo.
